Prostaglandins are accused of many different biological actions. Everybody is familiar with e.g. the antiaggregatory effect of certain prostaglandins on platelets, as well as with the aggregatory effect of others. Prostaglandins are also involved with vasodilation and with vasoconstriction, with uterus contraction, with inflammation, etc. It is difficult to get an overview on the real role of prostaglandins. Are they regulators, modifiers or mediators of a variety of biological processes ? These questions certainly await clarification.
